and our border security. the draft bill captures the core principles enunciated by president obama in las vegas and reflects the bipartisan spirit necessary to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. the bipartisan work reflected in this bill will strengthen security at our borders by funding the continued deployment of manpower, infrastructure, air cover and proven effective surveillance technologies along the highest trafficked areas of the southwest border. these efforts have already significantly reduced illegal immigration and increased our seizures of drugs and contraband. they must be strengthened and sustained. the draft bill does that. the bill also helps eliminate the jobs magnet that fuels illegal immigration. it holds employers accountable for knowingly hiring undocumented workers and requires the mandatory use of employment verification. employment verification actually supports strong border security. it also supports the integrity of our immigration system and the american economy by providin
